With its large 80 cm diameter, four side handles, external attachment rings and inner storage compartment, it gives freedivers a stable and practical surface platform for serious line training.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePremium freediving training buoy for depth sessions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nMany standard freediving buoys are good enough for marking a dive spot, but they become limited once you start training seriously. Rope handling, attaching accessories, storing small items and giving several divers enough space at the surface quickly becomes messy.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe C4 Tavolara solves this with a larger and more practical layout. It works as the central point of a depth line setup and gives divers a stable place to prepare, recover and organize equipment between dives.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStable 80 cm atoll-style buoy for open water training\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe wide 80 cm shape gives the Tavolara a stable presence on the water. The four side handles allow several freedivers to hold on at the same time, which makes it especially useful for buddy teams, instructors, clubs and group training.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis is not just a small marker buoy. It is a surface platform for freediving sessions where the rope, the divers and the accessories need to be organized properly.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStrong 850 gsm PVC construction with double chamber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe Tavolara is made from \u003cstrong\u003e850 gsm PVC with a thickness of 0.7 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e. The double-chamber construction adds security and structure, while the Bravo valve allows inflation up to 8 psi.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe result is a buoy that feels solid, stable and purpose-built for repeated open water use. For freediving schools, clubs and serious training groups, that difference is noticeable.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAttachment points, handles and inner storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nExternal stainless steel rings allow you to connect your rope system, accessories or additional equipment. Smaller items can be stored inside the dedicated inner compartment, which is accessible through a durable YKK zipper.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis keeps the top of the buoy cleaner and reduces loose equipment floating around during the session. It also makes the whole setup feel more controlled, especially when several divers are using the buoy at the same time.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned for freediving:\u003c\/strong\u003e ideal for training, warm-up dives and line work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge atoll-style shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e stable 80 cm surface platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour side handles:\u003c\/strong\u003e useful for buddy teams and group sessions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExternal attachment rings:\u003c\/strong\u003e practical for rope systems and accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner storage compartment:\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps smaller items organized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYKK zipper:\u003c\/strong\u003e durable access to the internal storage space\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e850 gsm PVC:\u003c\/strong\u003e strong material with 0.7 mm thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble-chamber construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e adds security and rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBravo valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e inflation up to 8 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal flag included:\u003c\/strong\u003e improves visibility on the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eC4 Carbon\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTavolara\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFreediving training buoy \/ atoll-style buoy\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e850 gsm PVC, 0.7 mm thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDouble-chamber construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValve\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBravo valve, max. pressure 8 psi\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZipper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eYKK zipper\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e80 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e18 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e4 side handles\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFreediving training, depth line setup, open water sessions, pre-dive preparation\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended setup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nFor a complete freediving buoy setup, combine the C4 Tavolara with a proper freediving rope, a low-friction pulley, a safety \/ lanyard stopper and the right bottom plate, weight and accessories.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kaluna-freediving.ch\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFreediving rope\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e: for a clean and reliable vertical line setup\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kaluna-freediving.ch\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow-friction pulley\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e: for smoother rope handling and easier depth adjustment\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kaluna-freediving.ch\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety \/ lanyard stopper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e: for controlled lanyard use during depth training\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kaluna-freediving.ch\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottom plate, weight \u0026amp;

It makes particular sense for instructors, clubs, training groups and advanced freedivers who often train with a rope and need a buoy that can handle repeated open water sessions.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nIf you only need a small marker buoy for occasional recreational use, this is probably more buoy than you need. But if you want a solid training platform for serious freediving sessions, the Tavolara is one of the most practical options in its category.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eExternal Apnea Passion review\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe C4 Tavolara was reviewed by \n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/apneapassion.com\/it\/attrezzature\/dossier-e-raggi-x\/boa-da-apnea-c4-tavolara\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\nApnea Passion\n\u003c\/a\u003e\nand received their Best Choice 2024 award in the freediving atoll \/ buoy category.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKaluna Freediving Opinion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe Tavolara is not the cheapest buoy, and it should not be bought as a simple surface marker. Its strength is the complete training setup: space for several freedivers, proper handles, useful attachment points, internal storage and a strong PVC construction.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nFor regular depth training, schools and serious open water sessions, this is exactly the kind of buoy that makes the whole setup feel more organized and less improvised. If you train with rope, pulley, stopper, bottom weight and multiple divers, the Tavolara makes sense. If you only want something small to mark your position on the surface, it is overkill.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"C4 Carbon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56944301113722,"sku":null,"price":249.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/0157\/7306\/files\/c4-carbon-tavolara-freediving-buoy-main_jpg.jpg?v=1780564642","url":"https:\/\/kaluna-freediving.ch\/products\/c4-tavolara-freediving-buoy","provider":"Kaluna Freediving","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
